New Onueans, May 28.—The Picayune’s Pen- sacola, Fla., special says: There are not want- ing here gentlemen of an observant turn which do not hesitate to couple the arrival here of M. Roustan, the French minister at Wash- ington, and the French frigate Roland with the recent — of a_ treaty between the French republic and the Legitime- Haytian government. It will be remembered that the r of the treaty was wired from New York on the 18th instant, and_con- tained the statement that the French republic had agreed to assist in suppressin; Hippolyte rebellion for a valuable concession From Legitime. Min- ister Roustan is still on board the nd. He will come ashore this afternoon. The confer- ence between the minister and the com- mander of the French war vessel will then have lasted fifty-two hours, Pre- vious to the minister's arrival and when it looked as though a meeting between the diplomat and the mariner would be pre- vented by the health authorities, the local French consul was advised to effect the meeting at all hazards. It was then said thatthe business between the two was of greatest importance, of a nature in fact that could not be trusted to the wires for transmission, hence the visit from the minister and arrival of the ship. _ Minister Roustan will leave for Washington direct this evening, The Roland will coal here and pro- — a sea.

The Supply of and Demand for Them Discussed by the General Assembly. New Yorx, May 28.—This morning's session of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church was mainly occupied by a discussion on the reports of the standing committees on edu- cation, and that of the special committee on the supply of and demand for ministers for the church. Dr. McCook, of Philadelphia, took a special interest in these reports. the gentleman was in favor of institutional ed- ucation he was not willing to press its accept- ance a8 a principle too strongly, but he would at the same time insist that the laws governing institutions and the admis- sion of ministers to the church be such that young men would become ministers mainly by their efforts. Mr. McCook disagreed with many of the recommendations of the standing com- mittee and would prefer to see appointed a new committee to report to the next assembly “After a thorough inquiry into the whole mat- ter,” said the speaker, “I amconstrained to sa; that I like this committee well enough, and believe that they are hard, honest, and con- scientious workers, but there are too many theological professors on it. They are very ood men, no doubt, but they require a tao jotty standard.” DR. HAMLIN WANTS MORE MINISTERS. Rev. Dr. T. 8. Hamlin, of Washington, held that the report presented many facts, but lacked in its recommendations, He thought a committee would be required to take up the work just where Dr. Morris, the chairman | of the standing committee, left off, and carry itto its logical conclusions. We must haw more ministers. Qur church is deplora- bly ia need of them, and we need them with or without diplomas, ee No Sympathy for the \Prince. Loxpox, May 28.—Ata meeting to-day of the London county councila resolution was pro- posed expressing the sympathy of that body with the Prince and Princess of Wales on ac- count of their disrespectful treatment by the mob on Saturday last while witnessing the fire- men’s parade.

The President was occupied with Indiana affairs this morning. He had a long talk with Representatives Owen and Cheadle and two or three other Indiana politicians. The time taken for this, however, did not come ont of the regular reception hour. They had a special appointment with him, and the interview was over before 11 o'clock, the reception hour. Senator Plumb and Representative Ander- son, of Kansas, with Gen. Conor, of Utah, had inverviews before the usual hour. THE PRESIDENT WILL REVIEW THE BROOKLYN PARADE. Senator Hiscock and Secretary Tracy walked up the steps to the library arm in arm just before 11 o’clock. They came to see the Presi- dent about going to Brooklyn to review the perade on Thursday. The President had been uncertain about ac- cepting the invitation, but this morning he announced his determination. He told Secre- tary Tracy that he would go to Brooklyn to- morrow, review the parade on Thursday and return to Washington on Friday. No further arrangements have been made for the trip than that the President and Secretary Tracy will leave at 3:45 to-morrow. A COLORED BISHOP. Bishop A. Grant, of San Antonia, Tex., who had just come from the meeting of the bishops of the A. M. E. church at New York, to appoint asuccessor to Mr. Townshend, the Indianapolis minister recently taken from his flock to fill a osition in the general land office, called at the Vhite House to talk with the President ina social sort of way about the condition of the negro race and other things in general. The bishop said toa Star reporter that if the President asked him about the matter he would speak favorably of the .candidacy of Cuney, the Colorado man, who wants to be collector at Galveston. Otherwise he would not talk of the offices. He said he had talked with Gen. Harrrison at Indianapolis and was pleased with his views on the race question, Since, some of the colored people thought that the race was tobe ignored, at the appointment of Lynch and Townshend had dispelled their fears, In Texas, he said, the political state of affairs with the negro is not as bad asin some other sec- tions. He said he did not think the President could constitutionally interfere with the affairs in any section of the country, and that true public sentiment and spread of intelligence would adjust things, TWO QUIET WORKERS. Representative Cannon, with the usual secre- tive smile on his amiable face, slipped into the Presidents’s private office and had a talk with him, and then slipped out again. Never a word did he have to say, but his smile was more se- cretive and more expansive as he came from the interview. On the steps he met Represent- ative Farquhar, just going up. The two quiet workers looked each other in the eyes in a knowing way. “When do you go home,” asked Farquhar. “Oh, after a while,” was the reply. “Well, I guess a man who is getting appoint- ments every day ain’t in a hurry.” All the Congressmen are a little bit jealous of Cannon's way of getting things. He and Lodge, of Massachusetts, have the reputation of getting all they want, with a promise of more, Farquhar is a good worker, but not quite so successful, HE ACCEPTS. Judge Herron who has just been appointed district attorney for the southern district of Ohio, called on the President to announce that he accepted the position and to thank the President for the appointment. There had been some doubt about his acceptance. Mr. Habercom, the new fifth auditor. who has been a week in office, was among the callers who were not ‘“‘seeking anything.” Representative Houk had a friend he wanted to introduce. Senator Manderson was on a similar mission. The friends had with them an ambition to hold a public trust. i Representatives-elect Evans, Ewart and Kin- say had friends they wanted to talk about, and they held the President’s ear for a tair allot- ment of the hours for callers. Joseph A. Nuges and Mr. T. H. Borden, of Brooklyn, called on business. No cabinet meeting was held to-day on ac- count of Mr. Blaine’s trip with his guests to Mt. Vernon. SWEDENBORGIAN CALLERS. At12o’clock, by special appointment, the President shook hands with about three hun- dred Swedenborgians in the East room, Nearly all those attending the convention of the new church, including many ladies, were present, and the President showed them marked re- spect by shaking hands more deliberately and letting the reception protract itself longer than is usual. Rev. Chauncey Giles of Philadelphia made a little speech stating that they were the smallest church organization in the country, but earnest in this work, and were pleased to have this op- portunity to greet the President and to express the hope that he might be guided by a higher Bower in the performance of his responsible utes. ‘The President responded, saying he was glad to meet them and that the sect was not so small as not to be known by him. General Mussey then introduced each of those assembled and the President shook hands with them. SECRETARY BLAINE AND GEN. LEW WALLACE, When the President returned to his private office he received Secretary Blaine and Gen. Lew Wallace, who were to talk about the Haytian commission affair. Gen. Bain, of Illinois, and Gen. Farrar were the other late callers. SUDDEN ILLNESS OF A CALLER. During the morning Mr. H. G. Dodge, of Bar Harbor, Me., was waiting patiently for an audience with the President. He has been in Washingtou since the 4th of March, and has been ill. He got out of his sick bed to drive to the White House, When the receiving hour had expired he had not yet seen the President, so he saw Private Secretary Halford. The interview was brief. When e left the room he tottered. When in the middle of the corri- dor he fell heavily to the floor, unconscious, He was picked up by the attendants and cared fo kindly until he recovered. He was then assisted to his carriage, which was waiting for him at the door. SENATOR QUAY ON OHIO MEN. Senator Quay has been more than ordinarily good humored during the last few days. He is pleased with Gilkeson’s appointment as second controller, and laughs thankfully about the way Alphonso Hart’s Ohio friends had, as he alleged, euchred him out of the solicitor- ship of internal revenue. ‘These Ohio men beat the deuce,” gn ee It seems almost incredible,” he continued. ‘but one of the candidates for the suryeyorship of customs in Philadelphia, who had the strongest indorsements of all tne applicants, was actually discovered to be a voter in Major McKinley's district in Ohio. He had never voted in Penn- ut he came right to the front less Ohio way, aud was mighty near getting there.” . Who this interprising Ohioan was Senator Quay did not tell, but this story in illustration of the modesty of Ohioan'’s was considered a good joke 4 those present. Major McKinley will probably feel good enough oyer the ap- appointment of one of his constituents toa istrict judgeship to let this joke of the Sena- "8 tor’s pass. POST-OFFICE DAY. After all the other callers had departed from the White House, Postmaster-General Wana- maker passed into the President's private of- fice. This was Post-Office day, and he had some appointments and other little matters to “Its thought that the Washington city post is thor masterahip f received some attention, with the view of determining whether or not Mr. Ross’ term should be allowed to expire before select- ing his successor.

Tucker had been as one of the conspirators tis copes a President Ei | ing match at Kernan’s theater began at 12 o'clock to-day. Eleven of the twelve starters resumed their weary march. Miss Henderson (No. 6.) who left the track yesterday, failed to put in an appearance. At the end of the firsttwelve hours of the race at midnight last night the following scores had been made: Evans, 53 miles 20 laps: To- bias, 49 miles 12 laps; Arnett, 44 miles 18 laps; Rose, 44 miles 3 laps; Blakeley, 41 miles 12 laps; Indian Princess, 41 miles 10 laps; Mac- beth, 39 miles 20 laps; Fleming, 39 mil ferson, 36 miles 9 laps; Jeffries, 29 miles 14 laps; Killbury, 26 miles, 12 laps; Henderson, 19 miles and 18 laps. TRACK SCENES TO-DAY. Miss Killbury (No. 5), who was looked apon yesterday as a likely winner, was forced to leave the track early last evening with only 2634 miles to her credit, on account of illness, was on the track again to-day, contrary to the orders of her physician. She is by far the fastest walker on the track and would make a fine record if her health were better. She started in to-day to make up for lost time, and walked as fastas others ran and walked. Her first mile was made in 9 minutes 11 seconds. It is a question, however, if she will be able to hold out. THE LEADER. Miss Evans, who made over fifty miles yes- terday, showed no effect to-day of her hard work. She was up at 6 o'clock this morning and took a walk to limber up. She runs like a deer, and although her pace to-day was not as fast ‘as yesterday, she ran a great deal, and made the mile in 9 minutes, She wears buckskin moccasins covered by heavy stockings, and her feet are as yet in ex- cellent condition. She announced to-day that she would make her hundredth mile before midnight. She is a dark horse in the race, and the pace thatshe cut out and has kept up is quite remarkable, Tobias (No, 8), the winner of the Baltimore match, is sure to geta place, as she isa splendid walker and has plenty of endurance. She sel- dom breaks into a run, but swings along at a | steady gait, which tells as the hours slip by. Her first mile to-day was in fourteen minutes. She is not such a rapid walker as Killbury, but her stride is not so wearing. Tobias said to- day that she felt in good condition, but “her outside leg hurt a little bit.” A VERY COMELY LITTLE CONTESTANT and one who promises to astonish some people before the close of the race, despite a weak ankle, is Miss Jeffries, No. 1. She had less than 30 miles marked on her score dial at noon to-day. This was owing to stomach trouble yesterday. but she felt better to-day, and said that if she could hold out until to-morrow night she would let out a few links and rapidly enlarge her score. She has been content to walk steadily thus far, but she isa sprinter and intends to start after the speedy Pittsburg maiden, Miss Evans, if she can get into condition. LADY MACBETH, (No. 3), to all appearances weighs just as much as she did at noon yesterday, and has just as much trouble with her rheu- matism. She tried to kill the by running to-day once or twice, but about 10 yards sufficed to make the walk more advisable. She isastayer and is bound to get a place. ne or two of the others limped a little and showed that their work was no fun for them. THIS AFTERNOON'S SCORE. At 2:40 this afternoon the score was: Jeffries, 36; Jefferson, 40,15 laps; Macbeth, 48, 7 laps; Princess, 51,1 lap; Killbury, 38, 8 laps; Hen- derson, 19; Blakely, 51, 5 laps; Tobias, 60, 4 laps; Arnett, 52, 5 laps; Roze, 64, 10 laps; Evans, 66, 7 laps; Fleming, 49, 6 laps. gee WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

To Change the Puritan. It is probable that the monitor Puritan will soon be transformed into an armored vessel of modern type and of great power; and that her recent trip from Norfolk to New York was ordered by Secretary Tracy witha view to placing the vessel in a yard where the im- portant work yet to be done can be most speedily executed and to the best advantage. A board composed of Commodore Walker, chief of the bureau of navigation; Commodore Schley, of the bureau of equipment; Commo- dore Sicard, of the ordnance bureau; Commo- dore White, Commodore Wilson, of the con- struction bureau, and Chief Engineer Melville have been in session in accordance with in- structions from Secretary Tracy, to consider plans for the completion of the vessel accord- ing to the proposed change of design.

The “ordinary” at the National hotel was filled with chairs this morning. arranged in formal rows, There was a carpeted platform at the south end, and in ‘he rear of this plat- form a large mirror was draped with the American colors, The occasion was the four- teenth annual convention of the Mutual Life and Accidental Underwriters of America, At 10 o'clock, the hour of assembling, the chairs, or about a hundred of them, were filled with members of the convention. A dozen or more of the chairs were occupied by wives of dele- gates who have accompanied them to this city. On the platform sat Mr. Geo, D. Eldridge, of this city, and at his side was District Commis- sioner Douglass, COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS’ ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Commissioner Douglass said: “Gentlemen: It is with great pleasure as the representative of the citizens of Washington thatI welcome you to this city. It seems especially fit that the representatives of one of the most important business interests of the country should congregate here to deliberate upon its general welfare. The institution that extends help to man or woman in times of deepest distress is certainly deserving of pab- lic esteem. When an individual does this we call him a benefactor. The man_ who started the first insurance company in London more than a century since would have been amazed indeed if he could have imagined the marvelous The | precem and present perfection of the system. wondered as I came here this morning whether some genius would not organize a company for the insurance of official lite. Just think whet a boom that branch of the business would have every four years in this vicinity, It has occurred to me some times that a presi- dential fourtir year was a sort of political leap year when the other side are privileged to pro- pose to fill the offices, At this season when- ever you tap the vocabulary of aresident Wash- ingtonian you will be likely to hear something about our beautiful city; and in this spirit I am moved to congratulate you that you have come at the right time to see for yourselves how the city looks in her new gown o! green. Hoping that your convention may be more than satisfactory, and that the visit of each one of you may prove a lasting memory of pleasure, I again weleome you to Washington,” Mr. Geo. A. Litchfield, of Boston, responded to Mr. Douglass in a neat address. ANNUAL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT ELDRIDGE. The president, Mr. Eldridge, then delivered his annual address, Mr. Eldridge, in opening his address, referred to the mecting of the convention in this city ten years ago, when the deliberations were presided over by the late Alexander Gardner, who then congratulated the convention that the associations then rep- resented and those of a similar character showed over 000.000 of in force, and tha‘ and paid to widows “and orphans over $13,213,897, “Think you,” said Mr. Eldridge, “that he would that day have given credence to one who should have predicted that in less than ten years a session of that same body would be held in this same city to consult av to the interests of a business that shows 100,= over $250,000,000 to widows and orphans, and that in the single year just passed has paid three times the amount which had been paid during the intire existence of the business to 1879.” Mr. Eldridge discussed various points of in- terest to the convention, and the points of dif- ference between the legal reserve company and the assessment company pure and sitple. Speaking on the subject of legislation, he said, in regard to INSURANCE LEGISLATION IN THE DISTRICT OF CO- LUMBIA: “Whatever may be our individual differences of opinion as to the advisability or possibility of national legislation for the regulation of life insurance where companies operate without the states of their incorporation, I believe that we can have but one opinion as to the desirability of such legislation as shall bring the traus- action of the business in this District under regulations and restrictions that shall protect its inhabitants against the frauds which now prey upon them. Driven from their lairs in surrounding states, the wild-cat insurance com- panies here find refuge and dlourish—a menace not alone to our people, but as well to those communities ‘upon which they can prey from this ~—_ point. The national Congress is as well as our but one in whose choice we have no part, You elect the men who make our laws, and to whom we look for the remedy of this great evil. You have driven, in large measure, from your own states the burden aud menace which how weigh upon us; cannot you do something to relieve our community? Tam not, per se,an advocate of multiplied super- vision; but I cannot question, from what I seen about me, that there is need in this Dis- trict that the supervision of insurance should be placed in the hands of some one who is made responsible for the execution of the laws, and who, unweighted by the cares of other de- partments of the District government, will have the time to discharge his duties,” COMMITTEES APPOINTED. The president appointed as the committee on credentials Messrs. Geo. R. McChesney, of New York; T. B. Quincy, of Illinois, and T. B.
